Random Picture of the Week

I’ve always wanted to do a random picture of the day / week type of post from images from my library. At some point, I will sit down and do that, until then, I will do a Random Picture of the Week. Although, I might not post one most weeks, I will try and do one, when I’m not ready to share images from some of the other projects I am working on…

Random Picture of the Week

Random Picture of the Week

This week’s image was taken while I was driving down Beltway 8 in Houston Texas after leaving a business meeting earlier this week. While stuck in Houston traffic, I came to a stop at a traffic light. where I noticed a random door tied to a light pole at a Velero Gas Station. This door is grungy, old and missing the center glass piece and I love it!

Seeing this site, I just had to take a picture of this. Luckily, I had my Sony Nex-3nl setting next to me and ready to use. So I took a couple of quick pictures.

The Processing

I processed the image with Adobe Lightroom and post processed the image with Topaz Labs Clarity. Since the weather was a little gloomy and the bad weather was about to roll in, I lightened the shadows to bring out more detail and then desaturated the image to give off a more grungy look.
